I had a hair-mare this weekend. This is not the first time I had a hair-mare…but it began when I decided to throw caution to the wind and try the new Clairol Easy Blend foam dye in Dark Brown… A small picture because I don’t like you. I wanted to go dark because my hair […]

So I was shopping at Muji yesterday, one of my favourite places to buy things and was really peeved when I realised all the staff had changed over and the new guys were the archetypal nightmare shop assistants; ignorant, unhelpful, disinterested. That got my thinking all about my experiences in retail as a customer and […]

Vaseline have launched a Facebook application for their range of skin lightening creams targeted at Indian ‘metrosexual’ men, which lightens half the face to show how much fairer they can look. This has of course caused much fuss: The vehicle Vaseline have used is wrong. To have something as trivial as a Facebook App to […]

I love Chanel make up in general – who doesn’t? But I had some make up done recently with a Chanel Quad, and boy did my eyes water and water. Then I remembered that I went through another phase when my eye used to just water every morning, and it was every time I used […]

I have gotten into nail polish lately – not that I have a choice, since my nails were badly stained by Barry M’s Nail Polish in Pink Flamingo! I love that nail polish – the colour is gorgeous! But it stained my names so bad – I have never had this before: Ewwww! I used […]

Just a few days ago I was defending our dear Catherine Zeta Jones against the nasty Daily Mail who were calling her old, haggard and using a clearly photoshopped image (other photo editing software is available). And then, this: Ok, ok let’s calm down. She was in the Darling Buds of May!!! Therefore, I refuse […]

Last week, me and Mr Candy decided to make some tapes (VHS for you spring chickens) for Candy Grandad, who hasn’t quite entered the DVD generation. As a result we ended up going through our own childhood tape collections, and I found an old recording of a Chinese Variety show by TVB (the biggest TV […]

MAC sales assistants have always had a bit of a bad rap from me – whilst I’ve always moaned about their icy cold attitudes and tranny like make up, I am an open minded one. I always hope that in time, things change, things get better. So those of you who follow me on Twitter […]

So everyone has been talking about getting Vajazzled. I got the press release about this a while ago but didn’t have time to read it until now…but it sort of made me giggle and cry at the same time so here it is: Vajazzling is the adornment of crystals and beads to the bikini area […]

So I mentioned last week I was trying out the Harcombe diet which on paper sounded easy. No carbs, no sugars, no tea or coffee, no milk…and a whole host of other things which make life worth living. Anyway here’s a few things that have been helping me (I say that but the scales will […]

Bradley Cooper, one of those actors who I can’t associate with any film of any substance appeared at the Valentine’s Day (The Film!) premiere the other day looking like….well, what is it?: Oh let me guess, it didn’t look like that when he left the house? Some people suggested that this wasn’t fake tan, it […]

So glad its Friday, so glad to be home and to have a rest. Love a bit of Golden Balls if I am home early enough – and what do I see? Make up that took my breath away. It took my breath away. I love it. I love that she has her own sense […]

All my Christmas shopping is done. It was easy. Don’t look at me like that. All apart from Mr Candy’s. I have been looking for places to buy some nice, good quality, not-too-bright jumpers for him. (Profile: he’s a simple dresser – he prefers Muji or GAP clothes, and is very protective over his socks […]

I was browsing some discount perfume sites yesterday, looking for presents for people I don’t like but am obliged to buy for, and what do I see, but my ex-imaginary husband, Ronan Keating’s very own scent: I can’t take the mickey out of this hideously packaged scent too much because the proceeds of the sale […]

Just when I thought my lash perm experience couldn’t get worse – it did. So there I was, innocently watching this god awful film, The Break Up, where Jennifer Anison plays Rachel from Friends and Vince Vaughn plays himself…and my eye begins to water a little. I give it a rub, just a gentle one, […]

I’m not the sort to go to the salon for many things. I don’t do spray on tans or sunbeds, I don’t have time for massages and I’m not particularly…hairy, and the hair I have keeps me warm, thanks. But I do like to go for a lash perm occasionally, and a threading session. God […]

I have a friend who is a jolly shade of bright orange after using too much fake tan. We were shopping for foundation for her and there came the realisation that there were no foundations in luminous, bright orange (unless you want to buy collection 2000 – hey that stuff turns orange on my skin). […]
